John C. Zouzelka,
President
John Zouzelka is a successful entrepreneur and real estate expert. He began his real estate career in Toronto in 1967. John subsequently built several highly successful companies in Toronto. In 1978, John moved to Dallas where he joined the Wycliffe International Group. With Wycliffe, John assembled investors from Canada, Europe and the United Sates to take advantage of land development and construction opportunities in a fast-growing city. Wycliffe was so successful that it led to a major expansion and, ultimately, the formation of Triland International, Inc in 1981.
Triland International, Inc. became an award-winning developer of large, master-planned communities in Dallas, Denver, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Austin, and Toronto. Triland completed over $4 billion worth of high profile, high-quality developments as joint ventures. During this time, John fine-tuned his ability to assess the development potential of real estate and find suitable investors as joint venture partners. Triland is particularly proud of its joint venture relationships in several high profile Master Planned developments with Olympia and York Developments of Toronto.
In 1979, John formed the family-owned business, The Tower Group, Inc., to focus on the high-end, super-luxury market segment of land development and master-planned mixed-use communities. These market segments have proven to be lucrative and generated huge returns for The Tower Group, Inc., and its investors. Capitalizing on recent successes, John continues to develop master-planned communities and prime commercial real estate properties.
